I just bumped into the Fireworks Product Manager. Yes, the Fireworks that we design-challenged-coders love so much has a Product Manager, and she told me that Fireworks 9 is in beta, and that you can sign up for the beta now . Oh, and to all of you chicken little doomsayers, phhhbbttthhh!
I am in Hall D of The Venetian going over tomorrow's opening keynote content. Opening rehearsals are going on behind me, and this opening will blow you away. Remember the laser light show in 2000? This tops it! The opening is being kept top-secret, I absolutely can't share any details. Sorry. ;-)...
In what seems to be an annual ritual, my flight to Las Vegas was delayed and delayed and then delayed again. And then when we landed we were delayed and delayed waiting for a gate. But I am here, finally. Now where are folks hanging out?
I'm on way to Las Vegas! MAX 2006 , here I come! To those of you already partying, I mean working, see you this evening! (This message is being sent from my new Nokia E62 , about which I have very mixed feelings).

I am a big XM Radio fan, and I kinda like ColdFusion, too. Being able to combine the two sounds pretty compelling to me. So ... XM Radio Canada (Toronto, Ontario) is looking for an intermediate ColdFusion developer to work on a large ColdFusion deployment. This is a 6 month contract, and it could...
I was just looking at final MAX registration numbers, and yes, we did it! As far as I can tell, MAX 2006 will be the best attended event ever (beating the previous record of 3000 attendees set by Allaire Developer Conference 2000 in Washington, D.C.). Yeah! Can't wait to see you all next week! BTW,...
Steve Erat has announced that the Online ColdFusion Meetup Group will be meeting offline Tuesday evening at MAX . It's great to see more and more unofficial events and impromptu meetings cropping up. After all, networking (the social kind, not WiFi) is a big part of the MAX experience.
Lots of you have been asking if there will be WiFi at MAX this year (as there has been in the past). And yes, there will be WiFi available in the exhibit area, as well as in the foyers on levels 3, 4, and 5. The SSID and access code will be prominently posted, too. So yes, you can blog away and...
Looks like I'll be heading over to Taipei the week after MAX for MAX Asia (well, the first venue, MAX Asia will actually be held in three locations ). I was last there for MAX Asia 2004 ( MAX Asia 2005 was in Hong Kong) and am excited to be going back.
